Well, My poor yellow got hit by a car today. She didn't make it. We buried her where she took dust baths during the day, where we would watch how funny she was. My brother was pulling into the driveway, and he didn't see her. Yellow wasn't afraid of cars anymore because she's been around them...

Well, I think it's just the fact that it's a completely different feed, and it's bigger. They probobly get full faster. Plus, you let them free range, so they probobly eat tons of other stuff to. As long as they are eating the food, I think they're ok.

Alright, thanks. I'll make sure to pick up another bowl.

Alright. Should I mix the oyster shells into the food or give it to them seperatly?

Aww, i'm so sorry. I wish I woulda known more to help her.

Always give your chickens extra calcium in the form of oyster shell. It helps them lay there eggs

Marigold is a type of flower, And my birds havent gone through a molt yet, so I'm not sure.

Well, I know marigold will really bring out the color in there feathers, so you could try that.

Hmm, yeah. I think the first one is a rooster since he is getting his comb so early.

Hi, One of my chickens, a red sex link, is about to start laying eggs. I've done some research, and it looks like these chickens can develop alot health issues, such as internal laying. I was wondering if anyone could give me some more information about this bird. Thanks!

Keep feeding her honey water, and add a little sugar to make it a bit stronger. She may be suffering from shiping stress. Get some save a chick electrolytes, or whatever brand you want, and mix it in with the water. Then, I would try to get some yogurt and feed it to her through an eye dropper.

Couldn't agree more. Chickens like scoping out the scene.

That would be a shocker haha. She will wake you up one night crowing.

Hmm, I think your hen is fine. I think she is just trying to find the right place to lay her egg, so other hens won't get to it. As far as all of the noise she is making, chickens like to anounce when they try to lay eggs. It's called the egg song. Keep offering her calcium and such and I think...

Yeah, she is looking more and more like an aurcana the longer I look at her. I think that's what you have.

Well, I know chickens mess around in the nesting boxes before they start to lay. Where did she lay her first egg? What size was it?

Well, the only breed I know of that has green legs is an aurcana. I have never actually seen it before. Wierd, but cool.

Hmm, Im gonna go get a good pair of gloves then. Thanks for the info,

True, my hens puff up after I touch them. Do they puff up in the nesting box if they're broody and you try to touch them? I remember reading that somewhere.
